Staying ahead in utility work and plant operations comes down to one thing: being proactive. Here are five tips to keep your system running smoothly and avoid costly downtime.
- Inspect Regularly – Don’t wait for a failure to find out something’s wrong. Routine inspections can catch small issues before they become big problems.
- Stick to a Cleaning Schedule – Whether it’s pipes, tanks or pumps, regular cleaning keeps your system efficient and extends equipment life.
- Know Your Equipment – Understand the weak points in your system and prioritize maintenance where it matters most.
- Use Monitoring Tools – SCADA systems or other monitoring tools can alert you to changes before they lead to breakdowns.
- Train Your Team – Ensure everyone knows what to look for and how to act quickly if something seems off.
A little effort up front can save you big time in the long run!
